PRESIDENT WILLIAM BUDGE,

Of Bear Lake Stake, on arising, said
that, being unaccustomeG TO speak in
so large building. he hoped to have the
attention and faith and prayers of the
congregation, that he might be enabled
TO impsrt instruction to the congrega-
ton the thoughts OF his mind. He was
impressed with the Importance of the
occasion, and had listened with pleasure
70 the addresses Of the speakers before
him. The spirit which had acsuated
them was calculated 70 build ap and
strengthen the Saints. Many matters
engaged the attention Of the Saints that
should Gauss them to progress. The
commandments of God could not be
kept if they were MOI understood, and
it WAS through the priesthood that in
struetioa and enlightenment would be
gwen. The counsels and ADVICE of the
authorities had tended to teach the
Saints tEeir duties in the gospel To

The pressure that had been brought 10

dition of the church would continue,
and that the people would peFsevere in
keeping the laws and commandments
of God, that they may enjoy the bless

glorious day for Zion, one for the edu-

RALEIGH, n. G., Feb. 16.
At the Eession of the House last night
a bill was passed increasing the total
appropriation for the four Colleges O
Normal Schools from $1,000 TO $4,000.
In the Senate to-day the principal bills
introduced we're the following: To
allow the Caroline CsAal Railway
to coIarAct with sjtheE,lifndsss for their use;
Is abolish County Superintendent of
Public Instruction Edgecombe; to au-
tn orize Cleveland and>Jones counties to
levy a special tax.
The bill to allow counties to work con-
victs ON public roads, which caused SO
much debate yesterday when it passed
the second reading, was made the spec
ial order for next Tuesday on its third
reading.
The principal bills introduced in the
House to-day were To restore citizen
ship to certain classes of convicts !;
to work roads in Ed gecombe by taxa
ton; to incorporate the town of Smi tn
vile, in Brunswick county, and change
its name to South Pert; to impose a tax
upon unsaweG lumber shipped out of the
State; to make ten hours days work; to
form the comfy Of Ellington oct of por-
tions of Rowan, Iredell aud MecAlen-
burg; to create the Office of railway COM

The House set the bill to create the
county of Badger, of parts of Wake,
Johnston, Nash aud Franklin as the spe-
cial order for Feb. oath.
The II ouse went into the committee
of the Whole on the revenue bill. Des-
perate efforts were made for the repeal
of the merchants tax on purchases and
of rebate on merchant, on drummers'
license, but all attempts failed. The bill
will pass as it was reported by the com
mittee.
The committee on Magistrates was
Eannounced: Staneill. Moore, EWart,
Alderman, and White of Perquimans.
Tonight in the Hall of the House,
there was meeting of the House COM

matter discussed was the proposed State
| Agricultural College.

To BE RkaRErTED.

The failure of Mr.. c. II. Miller, agent
for the Smith property, to perfect ar
rangements to remove the old Centrsl
Hotel building on North Main street. and
place in its stand handsome brick block,
is greatly regretted. We hope, never
theless, this will be done soon. The old
building is located in the very Eeart of
the city, is of decidedly ancient style,
and its removal to give place to modern
buildings would add greatly to the ap-
pearance of the street and would at the
sare time prove of great pecuniary
benefit to the owners of the property.
We hope Mr.. Miller will renew his efforts
to accomplish the desired end.
